The first floor club, on Waverley Street, is the older sibling of street-level venue Capilla.

Brothers John and Richard Goulbourne said they are looking forward to welcoming customers old and new to celebrate the bar’s big date.

Capilla is open until 3am and Bar Non open until 6am.

The brothers, both local businessmen, took over Bar Non two years ago and opened Capilla last December, revamping the former Springbok Trekkers.

The brothers are currently spending "a substantial sum" to transform the washrooms on the second floor of Bar Non, "of a similar standard to the Vincent Hotel", which they hope to open to the public in the new year.

Richard: “It has to be good for Southport if people are prepared to make an investment to make their bars classier. We are all trying to improve Southport nightlife."
